Developing self-compassion is helpful to good mental health and contributes to a stable sense of identity. Children in care will have faced great adversity in their life and so will often have low self-esteem, low self-worth and be confused about their identity.
This course will take a look at these issues. We will look at just how important identity and self-esteem is, not just in the now but in the long term. Many children in care do not like themselves and it is of paramount importance that we teach them how to value themselves and believe in themselves, to teach them self-compassion and to be kind to themselves.

Very good course
Lots of useful information
Very good
This course is a must for any foster carer to help think outside the box. Seeking the positives in their actions will be so much clearer and easier now. Thank you.
Really enjoyed this, particularly the real life stories of the participants. Reminded me how easy it is to fall in to negative habits rather than staying positive and reinforcing positive message. I recognise times when I have fallen in to the negative trap when tired and a little overwhelmed myself with emotions.
